FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to an apparatus for exercising the male genital organ, and more particularly to an apparatus that can be adapted for increasing the size of the male genital organ.

DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART

Various techniques have been utilized for increasing the size of the male genital organ. Jelquing, which utilizes the principles of the ancient Arabic technique of Jelq, is a popular male member enhancement exercise practiced by men all over the world. These techniques increase the flow of blood into the male genital organ and provide a safe way to enlarge the male member for improved erection. Moreover, these exercises are free from risks caused by the side effects of medication.

One prior art device for assisting such an exercise is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 20130226045 by Li Hui on Aug. 29, 2013 that describes a penis enlargement exercising system including a penis enlargement exerciser, a penis protecting cover, a heating device, and a pubic hair separating plate. However, this penis enlargement exerciser includes a penis protector cover disposed around the penis for protecting the skin from being pushed into a gap between the slider and the frame thereby providing a complex structural arrangement. Moreover, this device includes a complex arrangement of the handles which may be difficult to control during exercise by the user.

Publication Number CN106619021 issued to Liu Baobin on May 10, 2017 discloses a penis enlargement massage trainer comprising a clamping device, an opening and closing frame and a moving and adjusting device. However, this massage trainer includes a moving and adjusting device providing a complex structural arrangement that fails to provide flexibility and comfort.

U.S. Pat. No. 9,907,724 issued to Mercado Diaz on Mar. 6, 2018 discloses a device that stimulates and aids penis jelqing, or penis milking massage. However, this device includes a scissors-like structural arrangement that fails to maintain the male genital centered position and fails to provide symmetrical compression around of the male genital organ which may be uncomfortable for the user. Moreover, this device includes a complex arrangement of the handles which may be difficult to control during the jelqing motion by the user.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved apparatus for exercising the male genital organ that would be designed substantially free of pinch points to prevent the skin from being caught or injured between moving parts during the exercise. Such an apparatus would be adapted to provide flexibility and comfort. As such the squeezing means utilized in the above-mentioned prior arts would be designed to keep the male genital organ in a centered position and would be adapted to symmetrically compress the male genital organ. However, the handles utilized in the above-mentioned prior arts would be designed to be operated in a relatively simple manner and would be adapted to facilitate an appropriate ergonomic positioning of the user's hands. Moreover, such an apparatus would eliminate the existing structural complexities of other inventions and be sufficiently flexible to provide ease of desired positioning. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an ergonomic and two-hand operated device for exercising a male genital organ comprising a fixed member having a first cylindrical mounting portion, a V-shaped portion, a second cylindrical mounting portion and a lever end. The device further comprises a movable member having a first cylindrical mounting portion, a V-shaped portion, a second cylindrical mounting portion and a lever end. The V-shaped portion of the fixed member and the V-shaped portion of the movable member each may include an outward curved shape.

The device further comprises a first mounting bracket having a through hole and a blind hole arranged in parallel. The device further comprises a second mounting bracket having a blind hole and a through hole arranged in parallel. The first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket arranged to provide structural support for maintaining a spaced parallel relationship between the fixed member and the movable member.

The first cylindrical mounting portion and the second cylindrical mounting portion of the fixed member are securely attached, respectively, within the blind hole of the second mounting bracket and within the through hole of the first mounting bracket by way of a plurality of spring pins. The first cylindrical mounting portion and the second cylindrical mounting portion of the movable member are pivotally engaged, respectively, within the blind hole of the first mounting bracket and within the through hole of the second mounting bracket.

As configured, the movable member enjoys pivotal movement in relation to the mounting bracket, the fixed member enjoys radial movement in relation to the movable member.

The device further includes a pair of handles, each handle is securely attached, respectively, to the lever end of the fixed member and to the lever end of the movable member. The handles operate the open and closed position of the device. As configured, the handles are adapted to facilitate an appropriate ergonomic positioning of a user's hands during exercise

The device further comprises squeezing means, arranged to symmetrically compress and adapt to fit the shape of the male genital organ. The squeezing means includes a first silicone sleeve having a pair of end portions and a second silicone sleeve having a pair of end portions. The first silicone sleeve is mounted on the V-shaped portion of the fixed member and the second silicone sleeve is mounted on the V-shaped portion of the movable member. The pair of end portions of the first silicone sleeve arranged to be held in frictional contact with the pair of end portions of the second silicone sleeve, to ensure a sealed squeezing means around the male genital organ.

The blind hole and the through hole of the first and the second mounting brackets each may include a counterbored section for overlapping the end portions of the first and the second silicone sleeves.

As configured, the squeezing means is adapted to ensure the central positioning of the male genital organ during the exercise.

The device, as configured, is substantially free of pinch points to prevent the skin from being caught or injured between moving parts during the exercise.

In use, before initiating the process, the male genital organ needs to be warmed up; approximately of about 60% erect and lubricated. The device is configured herein to be operated with the device parallel to the waist line in the open position, and the male genital organ can be inserted into the device. The pair of handles may be rotated in opposite directions relative to each other in order to adapt the squeezing means to compress the base of the male genital organ. The device may be slowly pulled along the shaft of the male genital organ to force the blood towards the head of the male genital organ. The device is placed near the head of the male genital organ and holding the device for approximately of about 2 seconds. The handles can be rotated in an inverse direction to open the squeezing means for repositioning the device to the base of the male genital organ.

The present invention facilitates the exercising of the male genital organ with the improved device designed substantially free of pinch points. Such an apparatus is adapted to provide flexibility and comfort. Moreover, such an apparatus eliminates the existing structural complexities of other inventions and is sufficiently flexible to provide ease of desired positioning. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
